heavensbee Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The flakes are a bit smaller now that the snow has "matured" It is sticking to the roads and sidewalks now. Sirens are rampant. And an hour ago it was raining. It's CP. Sirens are always rampant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33andrain Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thundersleet in Towson with a few BIG flakes mixed in. Time to head off to work. ENJOY!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbridgemom Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My mom back in Dale City says the flakes are huge and it's coming down really hard. Wish I could be there to see it. Maybe a 1/2 inch in Dumfries (just off US-1, near Rt 234). Finally, a legitimate moderate snowfall. Road completely covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 80% Snow and 20% Sleet. Good to hear you are getting snow - It'll go over to pure snow and then get drier and more fluffy with time and you'll see excellent accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenmaniac Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Looks like based on the model the storm is expected to accelerate more when it hits the coast. The 6-12 hour frame is very light on precip. We should enjoy these rates over the next few hours, but looks like storm is over as far as heavy stuff by about 9 or 10:00. Enjoy it while we can everyone. Looks a little warm for my blood. I guess one person's good run is another's not so good. Wet but warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 The default Android weather app on my phone is telling me I'm at 34 with flurries. I apparently went from "rain" to "flurries" about 15 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltimoreguy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just started puking snow in Towson - with a flash of lightning throw in. We got 2-3" this a.m. and had very little period of rain/sleet this afternoon and are now raking in snow. Thinking we might be close to the jackpot here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 My mom back in Dale City says the flakes are huge and it's coming down really hard. Wish I could be there to see it. We have a deform band setting up shop overhead. Temp is 30 degrees, wet snow is becoming drier and fluffier and is piling up. Already 1.5 inches working on 2 inches - snow is finally beginning to cover some of the grass. You can add on an inch of wet slop snow we got between 220am and 345am this morning too.

Thinking we might be close to the jackpot here Baltimoreguy ---- You ARE The Jackpot with this. Imagine you wagered 2500 dollars in blackjack then you get a blackjack - That's how much snow you're gonna get crushed by overnight. You're gonna need a bigger shovel.

baroclinic_instability Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 That is beautiful thanks Jason. NP! Enjoy your storm! Thanks for posting. That's an awesome image. NP! are those gravity waves i'm seeing in the northern neck? The small scale waves are gravity waves. The larger "waves"/folds are transverse bands that are a typical feature in intense upper level cyclones with strong highly ageostrophic jet circulations. It looks very similar to the satellite representation of the Nor'easter that crippled SNE a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agordon5 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Really coming down. Starting to stick on the roads here. It's amazing, I'm less than 15 miles south of you and it's still just sleeting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
